So those of you that don't answer your phones... you missed out!

Met Don and Thomas in Walnut Creek at about 1015am.

We went down 680 to hwy 24 to 580 and across the bay bridge (80) to 280 then HWY 1 on the coast into Pacifica and down to Half Moon Bay.

From there, we cut inland on hwy 92 to Skyline  (hwy 35) which runs the top ridge of the mountains at the coast. 

Had lunch at Alice's with about 100 other riders that happened to be there as well being its a rider hangout.

Then on to 35s to HWY9 and into the town of Boulder Creek for some gas. Leaving Boulder Creek, 236 took us to Jamison Creek Road (great little road), to Pine Flat road, Empire Grade and finally Bonnie Doone road which put us back on HWY1.  What a great set of roads these were.

Up HWY 1 heading north with plans to go all the way back into SF but traffic said otherwise and since we were running low on daylight, we took 92 back to a real freeway (280) and into SF.  19th Avenue all the way through to the Golden Gate Bridge (as Don put's it.. He loves it because it's free this direction) and up into Novato.  From there, HWY 37 past Sears Point (It will never be Infineon Raceway to me) and into Vallejo where Thomas lives.

Don ditched out on 780 at his stop in Benicia and I continued on home.  I love riding the Benicia bridge after dark.  The lights are almost mezmerizing as they reflect off the water.

If I remember right, it was about 250 miles with some really great roads in there.

I tried to map it on Yahoo and google, but it just became a mess. I'll try again when I'm less tired.

Thanks Don and Thomas!

Crusher, I didn't call you. It slipped my mind.

Airborne called me late Friday night and I called a few people that we usually ride with.

I have your card and will remember next time.

I'd love to come by, yesterday was my day off and today I have birthday party duty for an 8 year old friend of mine.
